Abstract excerpt
Proper folding of nascent polypeptides is essential for their function and is monitored by intracellular "quality control" elements. The molecular chaperone calnexin participates in this process by retaining in the endoplasmic reticulum a variety of unfolded proteins, including class I major histocompatibility complex molecules. We transfected human B cell lines with genes encoding either wild-type HLA-A2 heavy...
